I cannot find my recent scans


 

OK -- how can we help

 

Files, including those scanned with your printer or with software on your computer / tablet / or Mac, generally follow some kind of naming convention.  Given the variety of apps and software, the name can certainly vary -- in many cases, the word "scan" is part of the name created.

 

Do you need help searching your account for files?

 

Relevant to Windows

 

If yes, I've used this search tool for years -- free version

Fast, accurate, and works in all recent versions of Windows

Tree Size Free

 

You do have to select at least a starting "folder".

 

It is easy to step down the list of folders - the action is very similar to stepping down in any directory / folder structure that you use in your device (computer / tablet).

 

For example, if you like, start with your entire User Account or perhaps your Pictures or Documents folders.

 

The software does not show you thumbnails or images of the data -- it does list your files by name.

 

For example, if your Scan files all start with the word "scan", look for these in the list(s).

 

Once you have found a likely candidate (folder where your data might be located), open File Explorer (if using Windows) and look at the data in the folder.
